Psalms 78:11-21

¹¹They forgot what he had done, and the wonders he had shown them.

¹²He did wonders before their ancestors in the country of Zoan in Egypt.

¹³Through the sea which he split he brought them, making waters stand up like a heap;

¹⁴he led them by day with a cloud, all the night with a light of fire.

¹⁵From the rocks which he split in the wilderness, he gave them to drink as of ocean's abundance.

¹⁶He brought streams out of the rock, and made water run down like rivers.

¹⁷Yet they still went on sinning against him, they defied the Most High in the desert.

¹⁸They willfully challenged God, demanding the food that they longed for.

¹⁹“Is God able,” such was their challenge, “to spread in the desert a table?

²⁰From the rock that he struck there gushed water, and torrents that overflowed; but can he also give bread, or provide his people with meat?”

²¹When the Lord heard this, he was furious, and fire was kindled on Jacob, anger flared up against Israel.
